Turbonegro Hope To Achieve Orgasm With New Album

Norwegian rock/punk outfit Turbonegro are working on a new studio album that has the working title of Orgasm In Progress.

According to the band's MySpace page, the follow-up to 2005's Party Animals is in the mixing stage and is tentatively set for release in April.

"We have no lives, as this record is devouring us from within," the group wrote in a MySpace blog entry late last year. "Feels good."

The album is expected to feature an appearance from former Queens Of The Stone Age bassist and current Mondo Generator frontman Nick Oliveri. One of the songs he's worked on for Turbonegro's record is "Night Calls," which he was apparently originally commissioned to compose as a theme song for a Playboy Channel television show of that same name. It was rejected by Playboy executives, but not his friends from Oslo.

Oliveri also wrote a tribute song to the band titled, appropriately enough, "Turbonegro."

Other songs the group have been working on for Orgasm In Progess include "Bleed For Me (All Night Long)," "Boys From Nowhere," "Hell Toupee," "Stroke The Shaft" and "Everybody Loves A Chubby Dude."

Turbonegro's music has been included in two recent Norwegian films, a horror flick titled Fritt Vilt and Mirakel, which revolves around a main character whose nephew is a big Turbonegro fan.

The group, who released a remix compilation called Small Feces, Vol. 1 last year, are perhaps best known for 1999's Apocalypse Dudes and 2003's Scandinavian Leather albums.

Turbonegro, who played various European festivals last summer, will perform at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas in mid-March.
